Are There Animals Living In My Bed?Bed Bug and Mattress Removal

You may have been thinking about getting rid of your old mattress in replace of something new. Depending on the age of your mattress, you might decide to make mattress removal a priority after hearing about some of the things that could be living inside of it.

An old mattress can be a garden of moulds and fungus, particularly in humid conditions. Additionally it can be a breeding ground for a number of tiny animals, these include:

Dust Mites

They’re microscopic, so you wouldn’t know if they are there or not, but it is estimated that on average there are around 10 million dust mites living in the average bed, feasting off dead skin cells. Dust mites can cause allergies by the inhalation of their droppings!

Scabies

Not so common are scabies, they’re larger than the dust mite and can cause much bigger problems too. They cause itchy skin infections by laying their eggs inside you.

Bed Bugs

Everyone hears about them, but many of us don’t really think they could be a problem. They’re not something you want to share your bed with and fortunately by keeping clean sheets it shouldn’t cause much problem.

Fleas, Lice, Ticks and Spiders

These bugs you may find in your bed, but it’s not because they like to live there. They’re unlikely to breed and multiply in number, but they’re definitely something you don’t want in there! You’re likely to only have a problem with them if you let your pets in your bed or don’t regularly wash your sheets.

If you want to keep your new mattress clean and creepy crawly free, use a good quality mattress protector and wash it regularly along with your sheets. Unless you really have to, it would be recommended to keep all pets out of your bed and even the bedroom if possible! Apart from creepy crawlies, there are other important differences between a new and old mattress you might like to be aware of.
